i have a 94 olds delta 88 royel with a 3800. i got home yesterday backed in to my drive way. shut it off did something got back in it and it wont start. also i noticed my dome lights power seats and windows, and mirrors stoped working. but if u turn the dome lights on with the switch everything starts working including it running. and the driveres door has to be open. if u turn the dome lights off or shut the door everything dies. ==pissed ==pissed ??? ??? ==censor ==censor ==dunno ==dunno pullhairr pullhairr ==help ==help ==help ==help ==help ==rant ==rant ==pullhair ==pullhair
it sounds like you have a alarm system? if so use the outside door lock with the key on the driver side. it may just need to be reset.
didnt work unless i did it wrong
if it didn't work I have to wonder if the igntion switch its self could be bad? the reason I say as soon as you turn the lights on you say it will start, it sounds like your back feeding the power from the lights to the ignition. as soon as you shut the door your interuping the circut.
do you have a number to call ya from, what u just said confused the hell out of me. but both the door AND the light have to be on and open in order for anything to work if you shut the door it will die shut the lights off it will die. also when you open the door the dome lights dont come on. ive been tring to reset it and the computer all day and now when you open the door with everything off the light in the door that goes around the seat switches comes on. also to the key has a chip in it.
i figured it out it was a bad ground under the carpet on driver side front floor board. thanks for the help
